Presumably with Purity supposedly destroyed (at least physically) the Doctor and Co will be fighting more of an idea than a single figure? Acting as some moral lesson at the end?

So when the news story says is the end of the arc, is this the end of the Purity arc or the whole Hebe run? Personally I hope Hebe stays on into 2024 and beyond, although if it's gong to be a case of Ruth is so busy she doesn't have time in her schedule for BF then it might be better to end it than have a loose end left dangling indefinitely

That means instead of a companion who just happens to be disabled but should be seen as a character in her own right, she sort of becomes the disabled-character-created-for-a-story-arc-about-a-villain-who-dislikes-disabled-people and to me that undermines the whole point that BF are trying to make. But hopefully I'm wrong and Hebe stays on. I wonder than if it also means Jac Rayner will cease to be 6DA range producer?

I suppose this as good a place as any to ask; how was Unleashed? I parked this arc halfway but now it has actual conclusion in the offing might be tempted to catch up.

I like Hebe, I like the way her disability is handled, I will be really disappointed if she ends up just being a plot device to tell a disability-themed arc. She needed at least one box after Water Worlds and needs more after this one.

She needed at least one box after Water Worlds and needs more after this one. Hmm. Would seem a bit odd to have an entire arc focused around avoiding her being erased from existence only for her to promptly leave afterwards. Unless she’s mean to become a repeat player in some other ranges.

Indeed. On the whole I generally trust Jac Rayner so I’m trying not too be pessimistic!

Anyone else find it weird they’re using exactly the same picture of Ruth Madeley on every one of these sets so far? They’ve gone past looking uniform and now just seem weirdly samey and unimaginative.

They’ve gone past looking uniform and now just seem weirdly samey and unimaginative. Presumably she or her Agent has only authorised the use of that 1 picture Actually this Month's VORTEX implies more from Hebe after this set. Regards mark687
